SUMMARY:Jason Haber – Futurecity: A Look at the Past\, Present\, and Future of NYC and Cities Around the World
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in history\, more people live in cities than in rural areas. By 2050\, another 2 billion people will occupancy our planet\, with two-thirds of them living in cities. While we have reached unprecedented population growth\, our planet is under siege and many of our cities\, including our own\, are ill-prepared for the coming storm. From climate change\, infrastructure\, housing\, health care and transportation\, cities will face historic challenges to meet the demands of the 21st century. How do cities meet these challenges and thrive in the face of them? In FutureCity\, Jason takes the audience through the history of cities\, and explores contemporary issues that are key to their survival and success. For New York\, this requires a further embrace of Jane Jacobs\, while moving on from the cen-centric policies of Robert Moses. \nJason Haber is a serial and social entrepreneur.

SUMMARY:How to Keep Your Cool
DESCRIPTION:In his essay “On Anger\,” the Roman Stoic thinker Seneca argues that anger is the most destructive passion. \nThis lecture\, from James Romm\, editor\, translator\, and Professor of Classics at Bard College offers us a timeless guide to avoiding and managing anger. It vividly illustrates why the emotion is so dangerous and why controlling it would bring vast benefits to individuals and society. \nSeneca’s thoughts on anger have never been more relevant than today\, when uncivil discourse has increasingly infected public debate. Whether seeking personal growth or political renewal\, readers will find\, in Seneca’s wisdom\, a valuable antidote to the ills of an angry age. \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland
DESCRIPTION:With the rise of the Tea Party and the election of Donald Trump\, many middle- and lower-income white Americans threw their support behind conservative politicians who pledged to make life great again for people like them. As Jonathan Metzl shows\, the right-wing policies that resulted from this white backlash put these voters’ very health at risk—and in the end\, threaten everyone’s well-being. Having interviewed a range of Americans\, he uncovers how racial anxieties led to the repeal of gun control laws in Missouri\, stymied the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee\, and fueled massive cuts to schools and social services in Kansas. Although such measures promised to restore greatness to white America\, Metzl’s systematic analysis of health data dramatically reveals they did just the opposite: these policies made life sicker\, harder\, and shorter in the very populations they purported to aid. Thus\, white gun suicides soared\, life expectancies fell\, and school dropout rates rose. Based on his new book of the same title\, Metzl’s talk demonstrates just how much white America would benefit by emphasizing cooperation\, rather than by chasing false promises of supremacy. \nAbout the Speaker \nJonathan Metzl is the Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry\, and the Director of the Center for Medicine\, Health\, and Society\, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville\, Tennessee.

SUMMARY:Book Launch for Seven Sisters and a Brother—Untold Truths Behind Black Student Activism in the 1960s
DESCRIPTION:Untold Truths Behind Black Student Activism in the 1960s: Marilyn Allman Maye\, Harold S. Buchanan\, Jannette O. Domingo and Marilyn Holifield with Brent Staples \n\n\n\n\nHenry Louis Gates\, Jr. has called Seven Sisters and a Brother “compelling portraits of the lives of the young people who risked their futures to make a difference.” \nFour of the eight authors will sit down with Brent Staples of the New York Times to discuss their experiences as activists in an elite liberal arts college in the 1960s. When the eight students at Swarthmore College demanded a Black Studies curriculum and protested the decreased enrollment and hiring of African Americans in 1969\, the peaceful protest was misreported through a negative lens. This long overdue choral memoir chronicles their eight-day sit-in. It is a story of great relevance at a time in which first-generation college students and millennial activists have demonstrated a desire for increased political engagement. According to Congresswoman Donna Shalala\, “Theirs is a story of the power of collective action\, the value of shared identity\, and the thrill of progress.” \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:The Politics of Preservation
DESCRIPTION:MoMA PS1 presents an afternoon of programming that examines the destruction of Iraqi heritage by the allied forces during the Gulf wars. Scholarship and mainstream attention surrounding the destruction and preservation of cultural heritage in Iraq have tended to focus largely on antiquity. This critical conversation expands this scope to not only address archeological sites and artifacts\, but to also focus on the living contemporary culture of Iraq\, posing questions about how culture is perceived\, instrumentalized\, and valued during times of war and occupation. \nMedical anthropologist Omar Dewachi\, whose research focuses on the intersection of global health\, the history of medicine\, and political anthropology\, leads the discussion. He is joined by Zahra Ali\, Zainab Bahrani\, David Harvey\, and Zainab Saleh. Following the presentations\, participants will come together in a conversation moderated by Ali. \nThe discussion is followed by a concert from renowned Iraqi maqam vocalist Hamid Al-Saadi performing with the celebrated ensemble Safaafir featuring Amir ElSaffar.

SUMMARY:Ada Calhoun Presents: Why We Can’t Sleep
DESCRIPTION:When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis\, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable\, too? \nCalhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs\, HR trends\, credit card debt averages\, and divorce data. At every turn\, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and the Millennials\, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age\, problems that were being largely overlooked. \nSpeaking with women across America about their experiences as the generation raised to “have it all\,” Calhoun found that most were exhausted\, terrified about money\, under-employed\, and overwhelmed. Instead of being heard\, they were told instead to lean in\, take “me-time\,” or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order. \nIn Why We Can’t Sleep\, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X’s predicament and offers solutions for how to pull oneself out of the abyss—and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring\, empowering\, and essential reading for all middle-aged women\, and anyone who hopes to understand them.
